Hard to understand what your asking.

I guess your asking what aftermarket seat would be more comfortable than stock? I am 6' and about 225. I have the Daytona cafe seat and it is super comfortable. There are many options, all depends on what style and shape you like.

Seats are something so personal that you have to find what works for you. I think the stock seat just fine for a 400 mile day. My brother found the stock seat on his CB unbearable and went with a Corbin.

AirHawk cushion.

yes it a hard choice most you can not return if you ride them and the cost and not be better off WOW

I recently got a K&H hi seat on mine. It seems better than stock. I like the little more leg room, but still not 100% comfortable as I was expecting...

lol this is a great post! Yes the seat is lousy, only good for looks. Monkey butt and I only weigh 140, same result.

I still have stock seat, Corbin makes really good stuff in my view, there are lots of recommendations, that's mine, Corbin. You'll never feel like walking again, I'd wager.

LOL, "hard choice" that's a good one, no pun intended am sure

Good luck with the seat, better than having to spend extra time with your urologist or proctologist or whatever kind of doctors we need to fix us because we ride.

In all my years of riding only one seat comes to mind that was truly 100% comfortable. The seat on my brothers 72 Moto Guzzi 850 Eldorado. The rest have been tolerable.
